Poverty, by America author Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year: "That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty."

Although the High Renaissance lasted for only a short period of time, it saw the production of some of the most exceptional artistic creations in the Italian states. Rome, which was the capital of the Papal States, and Florence were the two primary locations where High Renaissance artists flourished. Most art historians believe that the High Renaissance began around 1495 and ended around 1520 with the death of the great painter Raphael. While others believe that the Sack of Rome by the army of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, ended it circa 1527. The masters who seem to define the High Renaissance include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bramante. Painting during the High Renaissance is considered today to be the absolute zenith of western art. This period of time revealed many artistic advancement; such as linear perspective, realism, and the manipulation of light and darkness including the use of chiaroscuro. Compositions displayed balance, harmony, and a look back at the advancements in art made by the early Greeks and Romans. The paintings in the Vatican by Michelangelo and Raphael are considered by most scholars to represent the culmination of High Renaissance style. These masterpieces and work works of others will be discussed in this docent-led talk. Stay Social! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

The Timken Museum’s painting of the early Christian hermit, St. Anthony the Great, by Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo (c. 1515-20) attracts more than the passing attention of some visitors, many of whom take time to assess the artist’s message. Savoldo’s portrayal of the hermit running from a world of darkness and evil toward a peaceful world of goodness and beauty is especially intriguing because the hermit is not just escaping the evil darkness; he is also looking back at it. With regret? Was he possibly reneging on his choice to escape evil’s clutches? This famous 4th century hermit, later considered the founder of monasticism, has inspired paintings by many artists. This docent-led talk will survey some of those portrayals and the commentary they have inspired. Speaker: Florence Gillman, Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies, USD Stay Social!

Perfumed Gloves and Jasmine Fields: How France Become a Fragrance Capital Join us for an evening of art and fragrance! This lecture and interactive session led by art historian and fragrance writer Jessica Murphy will focus on France’s rise to prominence as a center of Western perfumery. The phrase “French perfume” evokes luxury, quality, and sensuality. But how did that association come to be? France’s ascendance as a site of fragrance production from the sixteenth century through the nineteenth century was due to a very specific blend of patronage and politics, as well as a timely mix of trade, technology, and terroir. This lecture will trace the unique chain of events and individuals that ensured the success of perfumery’s specialized craft within French culture and society, from the “Sun King” to the Guerlain family. For the second half of the event, we’ll look closely at several French paintings from the Timken’s collection and pair them with scent, enhancing our visual experience through the sense of smell.
